For koalas and wallabies yearning,
piles of money for tourism earning,
to Australia flying
and on jet fuel relying,
we now lose it and yell: "Oz is burning!"...

A strange thing called fire
The improbable wheel
  Drawings tools weapons

Agriculture was revolutionary
  Letters and numbers were radical

Motor Cars
Radio
Movies and TV
Air Travel
Nuclear Power
Computers
Moon Missions
All once fiercely resisted

Ready now welcome your robot replacement...

I relax and sip my martini cruising at 40000 feet.

If only my bags arrive with me, all will be complete

I arrive in Tokyo and watch the carousel go 'round and 'round.

Although it made many circuits, my luggage could not be found!

Here I sit forlorn in the terminal in Tokyo, Japan.

Alas, my shirts and drawers ended up in Kyrgyzstan!

One morning while strolling in the park
A screaming toilet fell from the sky
A stewardess strapped to it like a rock
Coming at me loud and meteoric
Sometimes I wonder about such things
Falling airline personnel in suits and ties
Toilets working overtime without their wings
Thinking about flushing away unwanted things
Did someone forget to secure a bolt or two?
Did the lady mistake it for a parachute?
I often think about how safe it is to fly
As screaming toilets fall from the sky...

Called the agent
Booked a flight
Ticket sent me
  ~ late night flight

Packed my belongings
Two(!) free bulging bags
Public trans to the airport
  ~ just a buck trav'lin' stag...

On board ate a meal
Chicken-rice, drink 'n lettuce 
No debit or charge card
  ~ the meal was gratis  

"Sir, have a paper
 or relax with a book
 Watch the latest movie
  ~ Here, have a look..."

Time to deplane now
Flight's over so soon:
Air travel in the '70's
  ~ Silver Bird ... Silver Spoon!...
